Chapter 931 Davids Visit (1/2)
”Yes, he is my...” David hesitated. Darren was a cunning man. Difficult life experiences had made him more sophisticated than David. David had been cheated by his brother on more than one occasion before, so he decided to think everything through this time. He could not afford to fall into the same trap again.
Darren's name was like a jagged knife penetrating David's heart, making it bleed with each movement. David felt tortured and gave it all he had to get rid of the miserable feeling.
They were brothers. There was a natural kinship between them. So why had they been hurting each other?
Could money and power really be more important than kinship for the two brothers? Could they really give up on their own family just to sate their selfish desires, even at the cost of their relationship getting severed forever?
”It's true that Darren is your brother by birth. But he stopped being a brother to you when he ruthlessly hurt you and your family. Do you understand? Get this fact through your head!” Jacob warned. Jacob looked at David coldly. He was reminded of the relationship between him and his own family members.
Jack and Mr. Gu were Jacob's family members, indeed. But they were not worthy of being respected after they had hurt Emily, the woman he cared about the most. When they had crossed that line, they had stopped being his family and become his enemies from that moment onward.
Jacob had learned a harsh lesson from them that there was no such thing as a perpetual friendship, nor a perpetual familial relationship. Jack and Mr. Gu were not his family, they were his sworn enemies.
It was the same with Emily. She had regarded the Tao Family as her real family, but how had that turned out? In the end, it was her family members who hurt her so badly. So, Jacob never believed that the bond between family members was unconditional. As long as there was love between two strangers, their relationship would be firmer than any blood relationship.
”Okay. I will,” David replied in a lower voice.
David nodded to Jacob with a grateful look on his face. As his best friend, David understood that Jacob only wanted what was best for him.
Darren and David were brothers who had grown up together. They shared the same childhood memories and had supported each other before. They shared the same blood of their mother in their bodies. But somehow, they had ended up estranged and had even become enemies. At this thought, David's heart broke with disappointment.
Jacob understood that it would be a hard choice for David to make. No matter how many comforting words he said right now, it would not be enough to save David from his miserable thoughts. Jacob, however, believed that David would know that he had made the right choice sooner or later.
After their conversation, David decided to go back to Tyrone Mansion with Jacob to visit Rita.
Tyrone Mansion was a quiet place for Rita to rest in. With Dylan and Emily for company, Rita gradually got out of her gloomy mood. She looked much better than she had in the hospital.
